Hello,

My name is Mel (short for Melisa). I am 20-something years old and currently live in Austin, Texas. I have, for the majority of my life, always been very active and maintained a healthy weight. Recently I was put on medication which helped me pack on 40-50 lbs.. and I am bound and determined to *not* be overweight (obese) for the rest of my life.

I recently got a job doing Web/Graphic Design, which is a field I have been wanting to break into for close to 10 years. Thankfully, this job allows me to work from home which has seriously cut my stress level down. I am optimistic this new career venture will be beneficial to me losing weight and being healthy (relatively speaking) again.
